    That we had to go home eventually

    This was the second time we stayed at the Lamai, and the effort the staff have made with our return was really touching. This time we stayed in the room with plunge pool, which was perfect for a quick dip after long days exploring on the island. Service is always impeccable and any help you might need, everyone will be on hand to get things done. Special thank you also to Nah and her team, the rooms were always spotless.

    The breakfast could be better, not alot of breafast options.

    Plunge pool room was beautiful, plunge pool was a lot cooler than the main pool so we used the main pool more often. Central, easy to get around with a car. Front desk was super helpful with car hire and your arrangements etc.

    The water in the ocean outside of the property is very shallow, therefore, it’s not possible to swim. The nearest beach is about 25-30min walk. We also had an encounter with a big cockroach at the room.

    We had a beautifully decorated modern room with a plunge pool. The room was cozy and comfy with all essentials. Good breakfast selection and friendly helpful staff.

    Lamai wasn’t the best location to stay personally I preferred Fisherman’s village but that’s not a reflection of the hotel. No gym at the hotel

    Very clean, staff exceptional and very friendly. Food was great. Very relaxing

    I LOVED our stay at The Lamai, it’s not a big resort but it’s just the right size when you are a couple who wants to relax. We stayed in the pool access room and we loved it so much we actually never went to the main pool. The beach in front of the hotel is not good for swimming- The breakfast is really really good! great variety. I would stay here again for sure! we stayed here 3 nights and then stayed at the Melia for 2 nights. I actually wished we stayed here the entire time…. next time I’ll only stay at The Lamai for sure!

    The place is really nice and well kept but it definitely falls short of a 5 star hotel. You feel you are overpaying for everything all the time. We had a 1h bath tube session and they charged us 1000B per person. It is a bath tube, I feel that the number of people should not matter in this case. They offer you many tours and bike rentals, but all are above the regular price you can find around. Also, I don't particularly like the fact that the shower in the bathroom has no ceiling. If it rains you basically have to step into the rain before getting to the toilet. It looks nice at the beginning but is not practical nor comfortable. The breakfast is a simple buffet, similar to other 3, 2 or even 1 star hotels we've been to in Thailand or maybe even worse. Other 5 star hotels I've been to you can have breakfast a la carte.

    The outside swimming pool area is astonishing, with a private beach with clean water. Next to it is the restaurant which has a nice and tasty selection of food. Probably one of the best curries I had on my trip was here.

    Nothing that worth mentioning.

    Very comfortable bed, room was large, bathroom was outside of room which was an experience that we got used to after a day Swimming pool was so good and private that we haven't used our private pool in the room. Breakfast was good and the dinner at the restaurant was amazing. Plunge pool was a bit of waste because the big pool was empty 99% of the time and we prefered it. We end up extending two more nights.

    We had a plunge pool room which was great however it is ground level where everyone can see straight through the room till the bathroom in the other side of the pool. Due to this we had to keep the curtains closed which made the room very dark. A bit far from Lamai Village.

    Very relaxing ambiance and the layout of the property is very nice !

    We booked for 3 nights but we loved the hotel so much we stayed for an 2 extra nights. Room facilities are fantastic and the staff were exceptional in an understated way. Breakfast was excellent with variations every day. We used the free kayaks in the shallow bay at sunset which was a lovely experience. Communication with reception staff is set up via wats app which meant requests were dealt with promptly. I was celebrating my 40th birthday and the hotel surprised me with a cake at breakfast.Highly recommend!

    So so peaceful and immaculate grounds. The pool is lovely and despite the beach not being the best for swimming it’s also really secluded and has gorgeous sunsets. It’s a very very quiet spot so not recommended for party people. But still easy access to most major places.

    Whilst on the sea, the sea in front of the hotel isn't swimmable as extremely shallow. Wasn't a problem for us as the pool was lovely and it was also very nice looking out to sea. I suspect if you walked down the beach there would be deeper water and good swimming, but didn't try.

    Extremely comfortable peaceful hotel away from the hussle and bustle of Koh Samui. Excellent staff, very comfortable room (we had a poolside suite), lovely bathroom with bath tub, shower and twin basins, nice main pool and good restaurant with a wide variety of food and reasonably priced options. Sunbeds always available as overflow area if the beds by the pool are taken. Also had a massage in the spa which was excellent, if a little pricey. Would return if in the area.

    The property is beach front, but the beach is not much of a beach... you can't really sunbathe or swim there! The area is also pretty quiet, which is a pro or a con depending on what you're looking for. Spa is super expensive (but worth it).

    Super beautiful place away from the crowds of Koh Samui. The room was beautiful - super big, great AC, and a massive bathroom with the biggest tub I've ever seen. Staying in the upstairs room was great because we got a little balcony to ourselves which felt really private. The pool was a lot of fun, and has a good vibe. Breakfast is excellent: every kinda food you can imagine and the ice coffee was delicious. Easily catered to vegans. Also the little floating terrace on the beach is great for a cocktail. Oh and the massage I had was one of the best I had in Thailand!

    Recommend only that the property review their drink prices and reduce them to be more in line with other hotel properties and restaurants. Moving to more competitive drink prices will increase the amount of money your guests spend on site and keep them from looking elsewhere.

    The service was absolutely first class. The staff all took it upon themselves to remember you by name, your room and your preferences. Friendly, welcoming, professional and responsive service. An absolutely beautiful property. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. The infinity pool and beach were spotless and absolutely gorgeous.

    The location of the hotel was amazing, it was in a great area and we were able to walk and taxi everywhere. It was also right on a private beachfront which was amazing. The service and staff were exceptional. They were all very helpful and kind. Checking in and out was very easy. The room was great! Air conditioned, comfy and very clean. Lots of space and was a nice comfortable space. Pool was nice and the gym was really good too. I loved the breakfast. Drinks by the pool and on the private pier was very cool. Would recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again.
